The customers keep us confined to a cage in the entryway so we can't. ;)

Yes, we can still do a split sleeper, it's just that the first period has to be 8 [or more] hours, which makes it mostly unworkable. I've done it a few times, but it's ridiculously complicated, and nowhere near as useful as it was when we could take 2 hours and stop the [&#$!$@] 14 hour clock...

Actually, the s/t is a downsize - I drove t/t first. JIT is not what Deming's system was about - that's just one misconception that was expounded upon already. Deming's system was about producing highest quality [whatever the product] every single time, without wasted time, money, or motions...

I do believe Mr Shooter is ignoring my request for an explanation of his comments. Bad idea. Ironic, given that about 80% of his 28000+ [!] posts are about what everyone from public officials to the kid next door SHOULD DO! but when his own behavior is questioned? Silence. Doubly ironic, in...

C-F make the call to "Put Christ back [or keep him in] Christmas" pretty odd, when you know he actually wasn't in it to begin with. Same goes for Easter and Halloween: pagan traditions taken over by the Christians, who basically lied to persuade people to convert. Reverend Mather spoke the...

You can have mine! I'm going to be home for Christmas, and in our family, only the people get pickled. ;)

I'm sure they didn't realize it was still in progress - it's hard to know when the last crash has happened, and finding injured people was probably their first priority. Did the first big truck [not WalMart] get hit? It 's hard to see - but if he didn't, that makes it all 4 wheelers involved...

Hey - I was attracted to the 'lifestyle' 10 years ago, and I'm still here! Course, I was driving a t/t then.... If you feel bored or inactive, that's a choice you made, because there's a lot you could be doing instead. I listen to audiobooks [anything from Dickens to steampunk] and it makes the...

So, Layoutshooter: do you 'hit & run' when you're behind the wheel, too? :confused:

I can't answer the avg income query, [and don't know how accurate a projection for 2 years from now would be, because it's tough to project for right now, given the many variables involved.] I can toss some differences between expediting in a S/T and OTR as a company driver in a t/t, though. The...

A number of authorities have been pressing charges against perpetrators of domestic violence even when the victim changes her mind after the initial incident. Because victims often prefer to lie to cover for the guy, after the initial fear has worn off, than to see him in jail. Especially if...

He just asked a question - he didn't say anything about "Do this and then get back to me." Asking questions, we do all the time - it's that "get back to me" line that's insufferable. THAT'S a homework assignment, neh? :rolleyes:

I voted for Load 1 because those trailers look good. Still think the logo could use some sparkle, though. ;)

That was some 'vacation'! For people who are used to being self sufficient, there's nothing worse than being 'disabled', even temporarily. Add in the nosocomial [hospital acquired] infection, and the misery index is waaaay up there, I'm sure. It was good that you had a friend nearby, to help...

It's a beautiful thing that you're doing - thank you. And thank you, John Elliot, for making it happen.

[QUOTE=layoutshooter;655630 I will not go into the rest of your post, you obviously have little background in this. The rest is best left unsaid as it could be construed as being degrading to you and I don't want to play that game. There is a "name" for the syndrome you are displaying here...

You could call Don Bentz [Bolt Custom Sleepers, Fort Wayne, In] and see if he'll give you some numbers for a do it yourself job, [he'll naturally want you to let him do it, though], because he's a nice guy. If that doesn't get you anywhere, it's the same system that's been used in campers for...

Sad but true. Perhaps the DOT cert ought to include a psyche eval, because people who can be so easily [and endlessly] entertained by a man wearing [OMG!] shorts with [gasp!] flowers on them are at least half a bubble off level. Those of us who work with them already knew that, lol.

[QUOTE=LDB;655784 And yeah, he very well may be an abortion advocate as well as an Obama voter if his words and actions in this circumstance are accurate indicators of who he is. He's probably anti gun and pro Communist too! I wouldn't be surprised if he kicks puppies - he looks that mean &...
